Duke Street crash: Two girls, 13, seriously injured after being hit by car

Two 13-year-old girls have suffered serious injuries after being struck by a car in Glasgow's east end.

Police and emergency services raced to the scene on Duke Street, near Shettleston Road, at around 4.45pm yesterday following reports of a car colliding with the two children.

Both girls were taken to the Royal Hospital for Children with what police describe as 'serious but not life threatening injuries'.

The road was closed for around two and a half hours while officers carried out their investigations.
